My Baby Chick wont Stand up

[Mchavez]

I got home and My little 4 week old baby chick wont stand up. i was started doing some work about an hour ago and the chick was just sitting there. one hour later i picked it up and it's legs were in a weird position. its claws were curved in and i'm just really worried. What should i do?

Do you have a picture of its legs?

Is it showing any signs of injury? Have you tried encouraging it to walk?

To post pictures you need 10 posts to be able to add pictures, this would be very helpful.

Was the chick walking, moving about normally before this? Are the legs spread wide, turned at an angle, does it attempt to grip your finger with feet whan you place finger against bottom of foot?

What are you feeding them? Given any probiotics, electrolytes, or vitamins? Is it drinking water? Is the vent clear?

Make a few reply posts then post some pictures. So many people on here that are knowledgable to give advice on what may be wrong.

That changed recently. You can post pics with your first post now, but you can't post external links unless you have a few posts out there already.
